to God to devotion to himself to serve his own turn And 2. he thereby robs people of their deliverance from the power of Satan who rules in darkness as God rules in light And so 3. and consequently he robs people of receiving forgiveness of sins and inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus for that 's the end of turning men from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God namely that they may receive forgiveness of sins and inheritance among God's sanctified ones But this will not stand with the Interest of him who seeks the glory and greatness of this World and an uncontroulable Kingdom over all without questioning what he doth and therefore Ignorance must be the nourisher of blind obedience to him which he blasphemously calls devotion to God And in this work now though he seek to be as high as Lucifer yet hath he made himself a slave to the Rulers of the darkness of this World whose principal drudge he is in labouring to keep men in darkness where Satan's power is We find in Scripture that darkness is the perishing state out of which God calls his people Eph. 5.8 Ye were sometime darkness but now are ye light in the Lord walk as children of the light 1 Pet. 2.9 Ye are a chosen generation that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light Col. 1.12 13. Giving thanks unto the Father which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the Saints in light who hath delivered us from the power of darkness And therefore to abide in darkness and to abide in a perishing state is all one in Scripture-language as also to be rejected of the Lord is expressed by being cast out into outer darkness 1 Joh. 2.9 10 11. He that hateth his brother is in darkness and walketh in darkness and knoweth not whither he goeth because that darkness hath blinded his eyes And Darkness is the place where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth Mat. 8.12 and 22.13 Now then it is easie for any to judge whose Minister he is that hides light from men to keep them in the darkness and whose work he doth He is none of Christ's Minister nor doth his work to promote his Kingdom which is a Kingdom of light but he doth the work of the Rulers of the darkness of this World and his own work to keep men in slavery to him who seeks the glory of this World And this now is one of the stratagems of the mystery of iniquity and one principal prop of Antichrist's Kingdom and a chief guard about the Pope to let him sleep at quiet Thus the Sword or carnal Weapons of Cruelty and Ignorance and such like means are the props and guards of this Kingdom which the Papists are Subjects to and not the pure and uncorrupted Truth recorded in Scripture And therefore that some of them may deliver themselves from that mystery of iniquity if the Lord please to open their eyes is the end of my writing these things And though some expressions in this Treatise may perhaps seem too harsh to some of them yet having to deal with such bad Principles in persons who pretend to be invested with authority and power derived from Christ in the work of his Ministry and in his service I could not use easier language than I have done And as I have here manifested the destructive Principles of the Papists to be most erroneous and wicked I say the same against the destructive zeal of any professors of Christianity upon what Principles soever they go and under what Name soever they stand and likewise affirm That no destructive zeal is renewed after the image of him that hath created us and made us new creatures for as God sent not his Son into the world to destroy so he came not a destroyer but a Saviour to save mens lives Therefore would he not suffer James and John to destroy nor Peter when he drew his Sword and cut off Malchus his Ear but bid him put it up and then heal'd the Ear again which he had cut off and hath left it upon record that his Servants shall not go about that Work to root out the tares out of the field that is the World that 's a Work reserved for the Angels at the end of the World I shall now for conclusion leave a few Queries for the Papists to satisfie their own Consciences in rather than to expect an Answer to them and I desire them to be impartial while they consider them 1. Whether the Lord hath taken up an outward Succession again since he laid aside Abraham's natural Succession 2. Whether any be a true Successor of Peter or of the rest of the Apostles who doth not walk in the same Spirit and Doctrine 3. Whether Christ hath substituted a Patron of Lying Perjury Plots Conspiracies Cruelty and Murders to be his Vicar to represent him upon Earth and to be the Head of his Church and an example to the Flock And whether it be not great blasphemy to affirm it 4. Whether he be a friend or an enemy to Christ who opposes the main ends of his Coming As namely in these particulars 1. In point of Enlightning 2. In point of Innocency 3. In point of Worship First Because Christ came to enlighten the World and to bring them out of darkness but the Popes stop the light and keep men in darkness Secondly Christ came to raise up a harmless inoffensive quiet innocent people and of them a Kingdom of Peace where nothing should hurt nor destroy but the Popes bring forth a people quite contrary harmful offensive unquiet disturbers of the Civil Peace by Plots Conspiracies Murders c. Thirdly Christ came to bring forth a people that should worship God in spirit and in truth such as the Father seeks to worship him but the Pope requires such Worshippers as will stoop to his Superstitions and idolatrous Worships after the Formality that he prescribes or else they must expect an Inquisition or some other usage as bad Now consider whether he that thus opposes the Ends of Christ's Coming be not an Enemy 5. Whether he that knoweth sin aforehand and yet entices or encourages his Children into it by promising them pardon and indempnity if they do it doth not very aptly follow the steps of that old Serpent that deceived Eve who told her Ye shall not die though ye eat 6. Whether those Roman Casuists do err that say It 's no sin to swear a falshood if they have a Reserve in their mind to salve it with Or it 's the Pope that errs in promising Pardons for such Oaths so making them sins For Pardons are Relatives to Sins 7. Whether Equivocations and mental Reserves will stand as a good plea for Lying and Perjury at that day when the righteous Judge of all the World shall judge every man according to
he had set up when they heard the sound of the Cornet Flute Harp Sackbut Psaltery Dulcimer and all kinds of Musick nor much behind him for Fire and Faggor to devour those that will not worship with them We read but of one Furnace that he caused to be heated to burn dissenters in but they have burnt multitudes of dissenters who would not consent to their worship witness Smithfield and other places in Queen Maries days Add hereunto the many Murthers done otherways by Inquisitions and bloody Massacres her unsatiable blood-thirstiness and blood-guiltiness So that you see although the Cup of Rome's worship be a golden Cup to look at yet within it's full of filthiness of her fornication it 's full of dead mens bones and all uncleanness like the painted Sepulchres of the Pharisees Israel's worship which was of God's own appointment became an abomination to him so that his soul hated it for these two things which Rome is eminently guilty of one was Because their hands were full of blood Isa 1.13 14 15. The other was Because they had chosen their own ways and their soul delighted in their abominations Isa 66.3 Now for Rome's worship it 's of her own forming not of God's institution and for blood her hands are fuller of that than ever Israel's was and for superstitious inventions Israel cannot compare with her Therefore her worship must needs be more detestable and abominable in the sight of the Lord than Israel's was being also aggravated hereby that whereas Israel was but under types and shadows as under a Schoolmaster but she lives in the days of greater light under the ministration of the second Covenant or new Covenant which far excels the first Covenant in the glory of its light 2 Cor. 3.10 So that for her now with bloody hands and with deceitful dissembling hearts to approach to worship the Lord this must needs be an abomination Judge in your selves I desire you ye of the Romish Church what acceptance this can have with the Lord for a people that plots and contrives the subversion of Kingdoms and sticks not to poison or stab or murder those that they fear may hinder their wicked designs who barbarously massacre people more merciful than themselves who are manifested thereby to partake more of the heavenly nature than they For a people that sets up to themselves Stocks and Stones Images and Pictures in abundance and falls down before them and bows themselves to the work of their own hands and prays to them that are no Gods nor present in all places with them to hear their prayers a people that turn away in their hearts from the living God and think to make Men and Angels their Intercessors for such a people to approach before the Lord and sing forth their Anthems and Allelujahs unto God Judge ye if this worship be not abominable and like the painted Sepulchres which appear beautiful outward but within are full of dead mens bones and filthiness yea and full of dead mens blood too which cryes to the Lord under the Altar How long Lord holy and true dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth And yet Rome would paint over all these abominations to blind the eyes of men that she may seem holy in the practice of all these things She will tell you that all these that she kills are Hereticks and it 's no sin to kill them She will tell you that she doth not worship Pictures and Images though she bow down to them but she doth it in honour to God and such like shifts and mists she casts over her actions to blind the carnal eye and leave it in a mist And therefore how fitly doth the Spirit of God meet with her jugling evasions and fixes this as one of the marks of the great Whore upon her forehead as a Name written viz. Mystery as it follows in the next Verse which comes now to be considered Ver. 5. And upon her forehead was a name written Mystery Babylon the great the Mothes of harlots and abominations of the earth This is the Name that the Spirit of God fixes upon the forehead of the great Whore Mystery She commits Whoredom and Idolatry in a mystery she sheds innocent blood in abundance and yet in a mystery She would not be thought to be an Idolatress nor to commit Whoredom nor to be a Murderer she would juggle you out of a belief of that which your eye sees and your ears sufficiently hear of her here is mystery indeed but it is the mystery of iniquity not the mystery of plain-hearted godliness And this Name is set in such a place that it 's easie to read it it 's set where she cannot hide it if she do but shew her face it stands upon her forehead The Front of all her Zeal carries Blood and Idolatry written in it but yet vailed and you must not believe it to be so Though you should see her prostrate her self before her Idols you must not take her to be an Idolatress though you should be attempted to be slain by her hands and though you should see many massacred round about you yet you must not take her to be a Murderer and though you should hear her Children lye to your face and prove themselves lyars by their actions yet you must not take this to be lying yea though they forswear and perjure themselves yet you must not take this to be swearing out of truth But you must take her to be a holy Mother and pious worshipper of God under Idolatry and a charitable tender-hearted Mother in the midst of Massacres and a maintainer of truth by lyes and perjury and equivocations She is an exact observer of the footsteps of her grand Champion to walk thereafter who though he be never so wicked yet you must reverence his Holiness Again Another part of her Name is Babylon the great Names of many things under the Old Testament are applied to like things under the New As Prayers and Thanksgivings are sometimes called Sacrifices and Incense New Covenant is called Mount Sion and Jerusalem c. So Babylon and Sodom and Egypt are words sometimes used to express a like people by There be three or four things remarkable in Rome for which the Name Babylon is put upon her 1. Confusion and so the word Babylon and Babel signifie for Rome hath confounded all things under the New Covenant with her traditions and superstitious inventions 2. As Babylon of old was a place of great Idolatry so also is Rome Read but the Epistle of the Prophet Jeremy to them that were captives to be carried to Babylon and you may see how like they are you may find it in the Apocrypha Baruch 6.4 5. Ye shall see in Babylon gods of silver and of gold and of wood born upon shoulders which cause the Nations to fear Beware therefore that ye in no wise be like to strangers neither be ye afraid of
Pope writ to Cardinal Julian thus Nullum valere faedus quod se inconsulto cum hostibus Religionis percussum esset that is That no Covenant was of force which was made with the enemies of Religion without his advice Whereupon the Truce was broken with the Turks and they thought perfidiously to have surprized them but the vigilant Turk Amurates was too nimble for them and had prepared a great Army to meet them which was done so suddenly that it was first seen before it was heard of which struck great terror into the Pope's Army and after a great slaughter on both sides the Turks went away Conquerors whereby providence would have taught them That faith was to be kept with enemies though enemies of Religion And so Aeneas Sylvius was convinced before he was made Pope for saith he speaking of this War Victores evadunt Turcae qui juramenta non solum domesticis fidei sed etiam hostibus servanda demonstrant The Turks go aâ—… Conquerers who shew that Oaths of fidelâ— eye to be kept not only with the housholds of faith but also with enemies Whether this Aeneas might condemn the same again afterwards or not I know not for he writ things before he was Pope which he condemned after he was made Pope whence this scoff was put upon him Aeneas probavit Pius damnavit Aeneas approved it but Pius condemned it for he was call'd Pius secundus after he was made Pope Sure there is a curse of Error adheres to the Pope's Chair and not a blessing of Infallibility But to keep to the thing in hand How treacherously was the Noble Admiral Coligni slain and thrown out at a Window at Paris contrary to promise and Oaths of security And at the same time many thousands of Protestants murthered Parry a Papist and Servant to Queen Elizabeth though he had several times sworn to be true to her yet for all that sought to kill her Because faith is not to be kept with Hereticks You see how safe it is for Protestants to keep Papists about them for such murtherous actions is one of the Papists works of Supererogation for which they merit to be canonized for Saints among the Pope's Catalogue This Perfidiousness of the Roman Catholicks is so notoriously known among Protestant Nations and especially of late among our selves that there needs no further demonstration thereof than the treacherous concealed Murders of several among us very lately who it 's very probable have been trappann'd under fawning and fair pretences into snares where they have lost their life as Worthy Godfrey loft his I am now come to the last Principle which I named which is as the close of these bloody Principles and Practices of the Papists viz. 7. That it is no sin to kill a Heretick or at leastwise it shall not be imputed to them as a sin but rather is a meritorious work to destroy Hereticks whether they be Kings or People Noble or Ignoble so that it be for the advantage of their Church This serves as a Spur to prick forward the Pope's Train to such bloody work especially when they see such as are most active therein canonized for Saints and so highly magnified I question not but many of them may be spurred forward in themselves with the desire of gain to enrich themselves in the ruine of others and with other the like sordid and earthly Considerations But I let that pass and apply my self to this Principle of theirs as a Case of Conscience only I suppose they will not deny this Principle to be theirs If they do their practice will make them lyars by their murtherous actions and wicked Plots and Designs against the Protestants to destroy them together with their Honour that they put upon such wicked practitioners To overthrow this Principle of theirs there is no need of much labour therein For it so fully manifests it self to be contrary to the Spirit of Christ and end of his Coming and also opposite to the Doctrine and Command of Christ that every Boy that can read the Scriptures may easily perceive it First As to its contrariety to the Spirit of Christ and end of his Coming he himself shews it plainly When James and John out of their great respect and love to him and zeal they had for him would have called for fire down from Heaven to consume those that did not receive him He turned and rebuked them and said Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of For the Son of man is not come to destroy mens lives but to save them Luk. 9.54 55 56. What can be more plainly spoken to shew that this way of destroying mens lives for his sake or because they do not receive him is contrary to the Spirit of Christ and end of his Coming Therefore suppose that the Pope's Church were infallibly in the truth which yet is not granted but admit so and that the Protestants were most certainly in error yet for them to destroy the Protestants upon that account this is far worse than James's and John's action for they did but desire with subjection to Christ to do what they would have done but these not subjecting themselves to Christ's words kill and burn the Protestants and destroy mens lives out of a blind incorrigible furious zeal whereby they greatly aggravate their wickedness Secondly This Principle and Practice of theirs is directly opposite to the Doctrine and Command of Christ which he taught his Disciples Mat. 13.24 c. where he first teaches the People by a Parable and then gives his Disciples the Interpretation of it The Parable is of the Tares of the Field which sprang up among the good Seed And the Servants of the Master of the Field came to him and said Sir didst not thou sowe good seed in thy field from whence then hath it tares He saith unto them An enemy hath done this The servants said unto him Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up But he said nay lest while ye gather up the tares ye root up also the wheat with them Let both grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers Gather ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them but gather the wheat into my barn This Parable is as a Question stated on purpose and determined by Christ himself to put an end to all such thoughts or doubts Whether the Children of the Kingdom may root out the Children of the wicked One out of the World Mind therefore how Christ expounds his own Parable and it is a presumptuous wresting of the truth of it to divert it to any other sence for who knows the meaning of a Parable so well as he that gives it especially as the Lord that gave it At the request of his Disciples who said Declare unto us the Parable of the tares of the field he opened it to them ver 37. and so forward He answered and
Cruelty I say accompanied with such things as I have named is one of their main guards or supports of their Religion It is like a wall of fire round about them so that if any among them shall but attempt to get out from them what can they look for but Fire and Faggot or a most hellish Inquisition if they catch them And what tortures and torments are acted there may sufficiently affright and terrifie such as think of deserting them This Cruelty is innate to their Religion for finding themselves defective of truth to uphold it they make it up with cruelty and with lyes when they have done to hide it That horrid piece of Cruelty intended by the Gunpowder-Plot and carried on so far as it went by their Creatures though those Actors in that work of darkness be honoured by them at Rome yet they would have you believe that it was only a trick of State so impudently shameless are they in forging lyes They would also make you believe that the Book of Martyrs is full of lyes and no better than a Fable because it records the abominable Butcheries and Cruelties which by them were acted upon conscientious people And all the ground they have to belye it is from hence that there was a mistake or two in it which Fox himself who was the Composer of that Book first discovered having had some wrong information given him in those particulars Thus they are not ashamed to act Cruclties but are ashamed to be apprehended therein for indeed their actions are so barbarous that even humane nature may blush to be found guilty thereof And yet they are fain to fly to this refuge of defence to uphold their Religion and also for the propagating of it For indeed to speak properly it is not the Kingdom of God and of Christ having truth for its foundation which they uphold but it 's a Kingdom of pride luxury and wantonness and debauchery which wants a foundation in truth therefore fly they to Cruelty for their support And their Cruelty so rings over the World that all but themselves and their slaves dread to come under their power For there is no mercy in them to old or young male or female to innocent Babes or Women with Child Oh the tortures and the invented devices of Cruelty that they put people to in Ireland since our memory in the year 1642. driving them into Rivers by droves and keeping them therein from getting-forth till they were drowned This was the easiest death they put them to Some they hanged some they ript open and let out their bowels some they starved to death some they buried alive ript up Women with Child dashed the heads of Infants against the stones commonly stript Men and Women naked and caused them to perish with cold and hunger many most beastly and barbarous tortures they put both Men and Women to And this now is their way of defending and propagating their Religion which their God who was a Murderer from the beginning acts them violently forward in Time was when they were something more moderate in their bloody ways when they cited people into their Courts and gave them a Tryal at their Laws and suffered them to argue for their Religion But now they are become violently savage and bruitish beyond all humane modesty whereby we may take notice of two things 1. That they are Seducers and that we need not doubt of because they wax worse and worse according to the Character which the Apostle gives of Seducers 2 Tim. 3.13 Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse deceiving and being deceived 2. We may hence also have strong hopes that they have but a short time to reign and rage in the World for therefore Satan is come down among them with great rage knowing that he hath but a short time This their Cruelty now and not Truth is one of the grand pillars by which their Kingdom is upheld Secondly Another pillar upon which their Irreligion as I may call it or Kingdom of Darkness stands is Ignorance They take away the Key of Knowledge from men and keep them in blindness that so they may be led by them as they please And to colour this piece of policy they would perswade their people that Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion and that the Scriptures make men Hereticks as some of them in the Massacre in Ireland got an English Bible and trampling upon it in the dirt as is informed cursed it saying that that was the cause or ground of all the Difference and therefore it is a thing not to be born with by them that any of their Lay-people as they term them should have the Bible or Testament except it be as they have corrupted it So they keep them from that that they may keep them in ignorance and they keep them in ignorance that they may rule them as they please and the people being deluded by them are willing to have it so for they see not the Serpent's subtilty that lyes hidden under that Maxime That Ignorance is the Mother of Devotion It is indeed the Mother of Devotion but to whom Not to God I testifie but to the Pope and his superstitious and idolatrous Worship Ignorance keeps men devout to him and his will-Worship but Christ Jesus came to raise up a people that should worship God in spirit and in truth and his Spirit is the Spirit of a sound mind not a Spirit of blindness and ignorance The devoutest men upon Earth have always been a knowing understanding people witness Noah Daniel and Job Samuel David and the rest of the Worthies renowned in Scripture yea and the Son of God himself who was filled with wisdom and truth who sometime spent the night in prayer to God and he that is born again is in his measure renewed in knowledge after his image Col. 3.9 10. Lye not one to another seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him Mind this that the new man is renewed in knowledge he is not kept in darkness and ignorance to make him devout to God When Paul came to Athens and beheld their blind devotion in their ignorance to rectifie this their devotion he endeavours to bring them to true knowledge not to keep them still in ignorance for that was his work as also the work of the rest of the Apostles and Ministers of Christ to turn men from darkness to the light and so from the power of Satan whose Kingdom is in darkness unto God who is light that so they might receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus Act. 26.18 Now he that stops up the light from men must needs be a Thief and a Robber which comes to steal 1. To steal away the hearts of men from Christ to himself and from devotion
his deeds And when a greater plea shall have no acceptance as namely Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name and in thy name have cast out devils and in thy name have done many wonderful works But Christ shall say unto them Depart from me ye workers of iniquity Mat. 7.22 23. 8. Whether ever the true Christian Church or any members of it standing faithful dissembled their profession by denying or swearing against their Principles in open words to save themselves thereby from men 9. Whether that be not a denying of Christ before men to deny that Truth which he hath left us to profess and hold forth in the World And whether he will not deny such and be ashamed of them before his Father You that think you are in the truth and yet deny it apply this to your selves 10. Whether they who dare not avouch their Religion and Principles before men in truth and sincerity when called to it have any Religion in them worth the owning 11. Whether a mercyless people or a more merciful people be nearer to the true Church of Christ 12. Whether a people degenerated from the true upright humble inoffensive peaceable quiet sincere holy life of Christianity and faln to Lying Treachery Plots Murders Massacres and such like evils be the only true Church of Christ And whether all others are Hereticks who shall depart from their Communion Let your Consciences speak as it will do before the Tribunal of the Lord. 13. Whether a people that make the Times perillous through their Plots Assassinations Murders Treacheries and such like evil courses although they should retain a form of godliness in outward shew be not such as are to be turned away from according as the Apostle admonishes 2 Tim. 3.1 2 3 4 5. 14. Whether a people full of violence as the old World was and as Sodom of old was a people full of Slanders and Lyes to hide their works of darkness as if they were afraid that the World should see their treacherous intents before they put them in execution Whether such a people be not well-nigh ripe for destruction These Queries I leave with you to satisfie your Consciences in if there be any fear of God remaining in them and let me entreat you not to deal deceitfully with your own Consciences which will be witness against you at the great Day when the Pope's Indulgences and Pardons will do you no good As for Answer to me in these things I cannot rationally expect any from the Scriptures of Truth for they are not contrary to themselves I know the Pope and his Romanists have one Catholick or universal Answer for all Objections Arguments Doubts Oppositions Questions c. whereby to prevent discoveries of their weakness or rather wickedness And that any one may expect that writes or speaks against their mystery of wickedness and it 's the same wherewith they have silenc'd Godfrey For they are sensible that their Cause will not abide the light and therefore they flee from that to this work of darkness to murder which they back with Lyes and Slanders And therefore let this be a Testimony to all that have any understanding That they are Children of darkness and not Children of the light for it is the testimony of our Lord himself That he that doth truth cometh to the light that his deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God But every one that doth evil hateth the light neither cometh to the light lest his deeds should be reproved or made manifest Joh. 3. POST-SCRIPT FOr the sake of some honest-minded People ' who perhaps may think that I too much limit the Mystery of iniquity or the Great Whore or Babylon the great in seeming to fix them to any particular People to such I give this Account in short That the Mystery of iniquity and Great Whore which carries that Mystery written on her forehead and Babylon the great and such like Titles are not given in Scripture to the universal or general Kingdom of Satan but to a limited Mystery both as to time and place For 1. That Mystery of iniquity had not its rise or beginning till after the appearance of Christ in the flesh it began but to work in the Apostles days but was not then revealed openly 2. It was to follow or accompany a falling away from Christ in life and power though not in profession 3. It was letted for a time by an Enemy namely when Satan in his open hostility raged against Christianity in the persecuting Emperors and so by them letted or kept down the rising of the Mystery of iniquity until that Enemy was taken out of the way 4. It is also limited or bounded as to time of discovery and consumption and after that of rooting out for the Kings of the Earth who have given their power to the Beast and so to the Whore and so also to the Mystery for they are all linked together in a Chain they shall survive or out-live it for they shall hate the Whore and eat her flesh and burn her with fire and make her desolate Rev. 17.16 5. Lastly It is limited as to place thus far That the chief Seat of it where it is to be found is particularly described by the Angel though its influence may extend far And therefore it is not that general Dominion or Kingdom of Satan which he hath had in wicked men from the beginning and in all wicked men and shall have every where among them until the end But it is a certain circumscribed Mystery limited both as to time and place of its chief Seat though extended far for place and long for time FINIS Books Printed for a general Service BArclay's Apology for the true Christian Divinity as it is held forth and preached by the People called Quakers being a full Vindication of their Principles by Arguments deduced from Scripture and right Reason and the Testimony of famous Authors both Ancient and Modern Robert Barclay's Apology for the true Christian Divinity vindicated from John Brown's Examination and pretended Confutation thereof R.
